Laurence Sterne was an Irishman who spent the greater part of his life as a clergyman in
England.The following extract is about a journey of his through France. One evening,
being away from any town, he was glad to see a house, a short distance from the road.
It was a little farmhouse surrounded with a vineyard and a cornfield. It was about eight
in the evening when I got to the house. The family consisted of an old gray-headed man
and his wife with five or six sons and sons-in-law, and their several wives, and a group of
cheerful children. They were all sitting together to their evening meal.
The old man rose up to meet me, and with a respecful cordiality invited me to sit down at
the table. So I sat down at once like a son of the family. And to invest myself in the
character of a son as quickly as I could, I instantly borrowed the old man’s knife, and,
taking a loaf, cut myself a heavy portion. And, as I did so, I saw a testimony in every eye,
not only of an honest welcome, but of a welcome mixed with thanks that I had not seemed
to doubt it.
When supper was over, the old man gave a knock on the table with the handle of his
knife, to bid them prepare for the dance. The moment the signal was given, the women and
girls ran into a back apartment to tie up their hair; and the young men to the door to wash
their faces and change their wooden shoes. And in three minutes every soul was ready
upon a little esplanade before the house to begin. The old man told me that all his life long
he had made it a rule, after supper was over, to call out his family to dance and rejoice,
believing, he said, that a cheerful and contented mind was the best source of thanks to
heaven that an illiterate peasant could pay.
